Poulenc Sonata for Flute and Piano
on: July 04, 2010, 06:23:07 PM
Hi everyone. I was wondering is someone would be kind enough to record the piano part for Poulenc's sonata for flute and piano for the first two movements for me? I'm not a good enough piano player otherwise I would do it myself. I have the music if you want me to scan it through, although this might be better for someone who already knows it and can play it as I it's rather tricky. I'm entering an audition playing the flute and I don't have an accompanyist and as I said I'm not a good enough piano player, it would probably take me about 2 years to learn it properly lol. Thanks. :)

Just a little aside.  Do you know what Poulenc said to Rampal regarding the slow movement?

It would be wise to set a broad tempo and give an example of your performance style. Any accompanyist (virtual or otherwise) worth his/her salt must be aware of the direct relationship you create in union. The little accompanying I have done showed me that this relationship is a work in progress, so the way you are suggesting might be more destructive than constructive.
Currently rehearsing:

Chopin Ballades (all)
Rachmaninov prelude in Bb Op 23 No 2
Mozart A minor sonata K310
Prokofiev 2nd sonata
Bach WTCII no 6
Busoni tr Bach toccata in D minor

Great piece! I would try some flute sites that sell CD's of accompaniments. Try Flute World.com
I have played this piece, and you really need to work with a 'live' body to achieve the rubato needed for all 3 movements....good luck have fun!
